West Woods Pedestrian Bridge
A new pedestrian bridge will provide students a safe, accessible path to campus and address grade differences between the West Woods area and student life neighborhood. Thanks to a Green Fee grant, permeable pavers for the project are being installed at grade, which will protect existing root systems and provide stormwater filtration benefits
Construction on the bridge began in December 2024 and is expected to be completed for the fall 2025 semester. While construction is in progress, existing pathways in the woods are temporarily closed, and signs are posted near the Campus Living Center, Crim Dell, Swem Library parking lot and Randolph Complex to provide pedestrians with detour information.
